What Type of Entrepreneur are You

To define the types of entrepreneurs is like trying to define Corporations! There are many types, classifications and terms that can be used to define the types of entrepreneurs.
So instead of explaining what types of entrepreneurs there are, the list below puts more of a category that most entrepreneurs will fall into. This list of three categories does not go into any great detail for the simple fact that every entrepreneur is different and unique. That in essence is what makes them entrepreneurs!

Serial Entrepreneur

This type of entrepreneur is more focused on the end result of change, than they are on bringing an idea to market as they Serial Entrepreneur is. A social entrepreneur gets their classification as they are one who is motivated by a desire to help, improve and transform various conditions. Conditions such as social, environmental, educational and economic conditions. A key trait of a social entrepreneur is their ambition and their lack of acceptance of the "status quo".

The social entrepreneur is driven more by emotional desire than by profit. The look to develop innovative solutions to some of the worlds largest problems, such as poverty and educational inadequacies to name two examples. The solutions that are developed are then taught so that they can be copied and enact change.

Where the Serial Entrepreneur has ideas than business, and the Social Entrepreneur has social problem then solution, the Lifestyle Entrepreneur puts their lifestyle ahead of all else! This type of entrepreneur launches their business based on a passion that they have for a particular product or service.

A Lifestyle Entrepreneur may decide to become self-employed in order to achieve more personal freedom, more family time and more time to work on projects that they have a passion for and are inspired by

Three Types of Entrepreneur, One Goal

One common thread between all three types of entrepreneurs is that they made the conscious decision to break free from the pack and start on their own business. They understood that they can take control of their own lives and create what it is they desire.

The pride and accomplishment that comes from being self-employed knowing that you make your own income. The ability to have the proper life / work balance. While all entrepreneurs do go through a period where they are working on their business opportunity more than they did at their job, the successful entrepreneur's working hours greatly decreases once their business takes shape!
